How does ESOP benefit employees?
It provides workers ownership interest in the company. At some companies, employees purchase shares in the company. At Giroux Glass, shares are gifted to employees after they become vested. ESOP employees share ownership of the company and benefit personally and financially from the company’s success and profitability.
What does it mean to be an ESOP Company?
“ESOP” means “Employee Stock Ownership Plan.” An ESOP is an employee benefit plan, similar in some ways to a profit-sharing plan. In an ESOP, a company sets up a trust fund, into which it contributes shares of its own stock or cash to buy existing shares. It creates the structure in which employees can become owners of the company for which they work. For more detailed information on ESOP programs.
Giroux Glass was honored to receive the prestigious Excellence in Ownership 2014 “Working Better Award” from the National Center for Employee Ownership.
